Nest desertion cannot be considered an egg‐rejection mechanism in a medium‐sized host: an experimental study with the common blackbird Turdus merula
Two main mechanisms of egg rejection, the main defence of hosts against brood parasites,
have been described: ejection and desertion. Desertion of the parasitized nest is much more …
